Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Eels @ Bankwest Stadium

[Frederick]

That kick just typifies how our season has gone

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

So somehow we're actually worse than last week

 

[K-Man]

Put a fork in us. Honestly, Brown has to go. It’s not a mini form slump. It’s teo massive losing streaks of very ordinary, dumb football interrupted by one purple patch. He just can’t seem to get the best out of a talented roster, and that is probably the biggest criticism you can level at a coach.

On paper we’re a top 8 team, we’ve got more star quality than the Eels, but we have played decent football in about a third of our matches all season.

 

[Tom155]

Score flatters us, shouldn’t be anywhere near as close as it is

 

[Burns]

Im not sure we will even score a try

 

[Yosh]

Brown better breadgjl some doors or chairs at half time or he needs to go. Which coach in the NRL worth half his salt wouldn't blow up big time?

 

[Burns]

40min left to save the season

 

[Yosh]

40 minutes for Brown to save his job.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Absolutely nothing in attack. We just keep running into them.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I can't wait to watch us to do nothing for the next 20 mins and then concede 50 points in the last 20

 

[perverse]

Pearce has got to be one of the most out of form players in the NRL over the past month

It's rare to see a player have such hot and cold streaks in the same season. I feel like our fortune this year has pretty much been tied to whatever has been going on in his head.

 

[Zoidberg]

We’ve had no possession at their end but we’ve asked no questions either. No energy in our runs, no support thus no offloads (during or before the tackle).
Where did that winning streak team go?

 

[Frederick]

Can we officially rename ourselves to the Newcastle One-outs?

That was a horrendously boring half of footy

 

[Alex28]

40 minutes for Brown to save his job.

You are kidding yourself. He’s going nowhere.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

You are kidding yourself. He’s going nowhere.

And that's a joke in itself

 

[Burns]

Just sad knowing the season is going to end like this across the next month

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Our goal line defence has been solid but we look like an elastic band that’s been stretched out and ready to snap. Parra are all over us in defence and we’re just not bending the line at all. Massive second half in the context of our season.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I've been very happy with the quality of the Knights defense. We are seriously lacking potency in attack,

 

[Frederick]

Yep

 

[Alex28]

Scratch learning how to defend - how about he learns to play decent footy before he commands the big cash.
